Hi folks - this falls rapidly out of date, as there are quite a few members now with websites. I'm happy to keep adding the ones I know are related to vegetable gardening - but if I'm missing any, drop me a message and I'll update the list.
Plantsman's - gone again; sorry;
The Gardener's Almanac -
http://www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk/
philcooper's
http://www.plant-seed-mailorder.org.uk/
- a catalogue of UK mail order seed and plant suppliers.
philcooper's
http://www.hhdra.org.uk/
(Hampshire HDRA - with a listing of potato days!)
and my own diary and notes -
http://www.keirg.freeserve.co.uk/diary/default.html
.
There's also substantial listing of allotment associations and plots in
http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Recreation_and_Sports/Home_and_Garden/Gardening/Gardens/Allotments/
All best, Gavin

A pleasure - it didn't take that long at all, as I've only borrowed from others of my little projects. But this time I've kept a copy on my hard disk!!!
All best - Gavin

Could I add another - I'm not sure how often it is updated but there is some useful info on
http://www.kitchengardens.dial.pipex.com/
I'm always referring to this:
http://www.alfresco.demon.co.uk/veg/
and some interesting links on:
http://www.debbysgardenlinks.co.uk/index.htm
Forum Admin - is it OK to post links to seed merchants. There are three suppliers that I've found to be most helpful?

It's OK to post links to seed merchants at the moment, however at some point in the future we may have to consider discrete advertising, to pay for bandwidth and storage.
If that happens I may have to become a little more fussy.
Cheers

Hi Dan - seems reasonable enough! You iz the boss, so until that time, in my experience, the range of products offered and the service from these guys is amazing:

Hi Teresa - the only link I have is to
http://www.mooncalendar.co.uk/
, but I remember the Beeb having something on gardening by the moon a wee bit back ------- I'll see if I can retrace my steps, and retrieve their links for you.
All best - Gavin
PS - I think this is the Beeb link I saw;
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/gqt/lunar.shtml
Worth a go?

If you want to find out about some good lottie friends, which I was fortunate enough to see in action (gruesome, but highly satisfactory!), then try this page:
http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/biocontrol/parasitoids/cotesia.html
They didn't appear very quickly, so I had to resort to hand removal of the first group of caterpillars, but the wasps soon got going and the caterpillars soon got dying (bad english, I know, but hey!)
Love, Palefire
